To see what is taking place now, it is shameful and shameless and those members who are trying to say, no big deal on January 6th, they are trying to perform a frontal lobotomy on the American people, a side effect, which is mental…

Labor to keep alive in your breast that little celestial light called conscience.

Joe Biden is the next President of the United States. He is the President-elect and they should say so.

What he is doing is saying that anybody who votes by other than in person is committing a fraud upon the American people.

He has an obligation to instill pride, respect for their patriotism and sacrifice. He does anything but that when he goes in to the Pentagon or in the situation room and says you're a bunch of incompetents.

The notion that anyone joins up to serve our country is in it for the money is absurd.

It's demeaning to every person who wears the nation's uniform, for President Trump as commander in chief to say that Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Joe Dunford are babies, or sissies, or incompetent.

If we succumb to this notion that the President is above the law, then I think we are sacrificing the Democratic system.

This is about, yes, about Trump and the impeachment of Trump, but really what's at stake is the rule of law.

The President has said, the rules don't apply to him, that he can't be charged with anything, that he can't even be investigated.

I saw no evidence presented during any of the committee hearings and I believe that's the case with the Senate investigation as well that indicated that Ukraine had any organized attempt to interfere.

If you're a Republican, you support the military, but if you're a Democrat, you don't, it's going to divide this country, and make us less secure in the future.

It's a very divisive technique that he is using. He is not presiding as President of the United States of all of us.

He is driving a wedge in this country, which I think will undermine our security, if he continues to do that.

Nobody should feel free to ignore the Congress of the United States including the president of the United States.

I think we have to think very carefully about whether or not we would like to see the disillusion of the Chinese government as is currently constructed.

I think the imposition of tariffs is exactly the wrong thing to do.

I don't think the way that President Trump is dealing with this is the right way to go about it.

The danger is you don't want to have the president continue to insult the intelligence community, saying you've got it wrong, I don't believe you.

One of the problems on this, Anderson, is the president is impulsive, impetuous, and he responded to what he heard were reports about the testimony.

The President has taken a wrecking ball to every pillar of stability and security we've erected over the past 60, 70 years. He systematically demolishing that.

I think we're in more danger now than we've been before.

When the entire national security team said that the Russians had attacked us, had attacked our democracy, President Trump said, he believed President Putin.

The president has taken a wrecking ball to every pillar of stability and security we have erected over the past 60, 70 years.

President Trump deserves credit for getting this resolution through the Security Council last week. But don't undercut it with improvisations and off the cuff statements which are only going to undercut it.
